This is one of my own emails, and I'm unable to make any progress in troubleshooting.
From Outlook, I can send, but there has been no email received since Saturday. Test messages I've sent from several other email addresses do not bounce, they just disappear into the ether. I had a customer text me that his reply to one of my emails to him last week bounced, but I couldn't get that bounce message from him, and none of the test emails I sent from various other accounts bounced for me. I did a message trace for any incoming mail from his address, but that came up empty.
I have several rules in Outlook, but no new ones and no suspicious ones. No new email in the junk folder.
From OWA, I have the same symptom. I can send but not receive email. No suspicious rules, no new emails period, even in junk since Saturday.
I am not pushing any storage limits. I think the mailbox size is just north of 3GB.
Doing a message trace in EAC shows no messages found when looking for any incoming email to that address, and no messages found when looking for any of the various test messages I've sent when specifying only the sender as the trace target.
In OWA, I *can* send a message to myself and receive it - and I also receive that message in Outlook.
This has to be DNS, then, right? I haven't made any DNS changes recently, but took a look in Cloudflare anyway. Nothing new, nothing out of the ordinary, either.
In the M365 Admin center, the domain tests as healthy. I double checked that I have the correct MX record. The service health looks good.
I went to testconnectivity.microsoft.com and did the inbound SMTP test, which verified successfully. The remote connectivity test was also successful.
Account is protected with a good password and 2FA.
I was going to remove and re-add the account to Outlook, but since the problem exists in OWA as well, this isn't an Outlook issue.
I have other M365 addresses with different domains and they all appear to be functioning normally.
I have one other email under the problem domain which is used to receive various notifications, and that email is also not receiving anything new. I *CAN* however send email from one of the problem domain accounts to the other and vice versa.
I'm out of ideas - really. I think I need to open a ticket with MS.
